Mobile payments giant Stripe, Patrick Krisson, had a fireside chat with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

He asked Huang: Why did you say at the Stanford event, I want you to go through enough doses of pain and suffering.

Huang replied:

People often misconceptions that the best job is one that gives you happiness all the time. But nothing great is easy to do. So by definition, I want you to be great, and in my words, I want you to suffer.

A person who hides hardships and troubles is also doomed to lose the opportunity to grow.

Really good work will make you suffer and suffer.

01

I've always believed in the saying: You are what you suffer.

The paraphrase is:What kind of pain to endure, what kind of life to achieve.

A person who can't stand a little wind and rain at work, and a person who has experienced a lot of hardships, are destined to go to different futures.

Suning Electric launched a "3 plan" to select talents from outstanding graduates of various schools, and strive to use 0~0 years to train this group of graduates into middle-level leaders of the enterprise.

Lin Nan, an intern, is a member of the "1200 plan".

Lin Nan graduated from a first-line school, and is good at singing, hosting, and musical instruments, and is a popular figure in the school.

Because of her outstanding resume, Suning's HR had high expectations for her from the beginning.

However, not long after Lin Nan joined the company, he surprised his colleagues in the company.

When she officially went to work, she was often at a loss like a headless fly.

In time for the holiday promotion, the entire department is in a hurry to catch up with the performance, but Lin Nan is often lazy in the bathroom.

The leader couldn't stand it and said a few words to her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Nan broke the defense at once, and told the leader with tears in his eyes:

I am new, and my colleagues do not take the initiative to help me;

The pace of work was too fast, and she felt stressed......

After listening to this, the leader couldn't help but ask her: "Then have you ever thought about taking the initiative to learn and work hard to adapt?" ”

Lin Nan's mouth pursed and he didn't speak anymore.

Soon after, she asked the company to leave because she couldn't bear the intensity of work.

After this incident, Suning said helplessly: "I'm sorry, we only recruit adults." ”

In this world, there is never an easy job, only who can endure the pain better than the other.

Many people regard their work as a beast of prey, complaining about the slightest setback, and picking on them when they are wronged.

But no matter what unit you are in, doing those simple things without thresholds may give you short-term pleasure, but it is your whole life that is imprisoned.

Now, there is a new type of philosophy of life: there is no shame in escaping, and it is happy to touch the fish.

Writing code is painful, so programmers don't decide to ask Baidu about everything, so that the ability to type code fades day by day, and the effort to search for answers is perfect.

They have been working for many years, but instead of going to the next level, they are becoming more and more mediocre.

If you want to be creative, it is torturous, so many designers collect dozens of ready-made templates, and if the leader has any requirements, they will pick up a set of templates to deal with.

Perfunctory to the end, they became a screw stuck in that position, they had no ability to climb up, and they had no ability to go out.

When people run away from suffering, they are running away from growth.

When we choose difficult things, grind in them, and practice in our hearts, we can truly fulfill ourselves.

Advertising creative Dong Dong Gun told a story.

After joining Ogilvy & Mather Beijing, he received an advertising assignment.

At the time, an American creative director designed a flat drawing of a car parked in front of a mirror that also showed the car.

The English text for this ad reads: Meet your alter-ego.

Dongdonggun's task was to write a Chinese version.

He scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and wrote at least dozens of versions: "meet a new me", "meet yourself", "coincide with a confidant......

Leader Lin Guizhi looked at it and said lightly, it could be better.

The helpless Dongdong Gun could only continue to ponder, and he collapsed when he thought about it, but finally felt that it was okay to "meet a confidant".

Lin Guizhi sat down at his table, stared at the picture and the alternative title, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: Look, is this sentence written as "Why narcissism"?

Dongdong Gun recalled that at that moment, he was sublimated and transparent.

This is an experience that many migrant workers have experienced.

After hard work, after passing the pass and passing the pass, there will be a huge sense of harvest and accomplishment in my heart.

In fact, the way to go through suffering is to experience it, absorb it, and explore it.

Those difficult tasks, those painful experiences, will become your energy for growth.

As Bi Shumin said in "Spiritual Code":

"You can't ask to have a life without storms, because pain and suffering are part of life.

An ocean without storms, it is not a sea, it is a mud pond. ”

Only by enduring the unbearable pain of others can we earn money that most people can't earn;

Only by accomplishing what others can't do can we get results that others can't.

In "Tearing Down the Wall of Thinking", the writer Classical once described two types of people:

One person is victim mode: I always think that it is the outside world, someone else, that is causing my current state of pain.

The other type of person is the controller mode: I have the ability to take responsibility for my own situation, regardless of the outside world.

Constrained by the victim model, many people treat frustration as a negative state, avoiding or complaining about things when encountered.

If it's in the controller mode, you'll be in pain, but you'll take the initiative to think of a solution.

When the famous fashion editor Sun Chan first entered the industry, she was also a rookie who was often scolded and cried by the leaders.

The title of an article, if the leader is not satisfied, will make her spend the whole day thinking about it until she comes up with a satisfactory title;

If there is a typo in the article, the leader will take a screenshot and circle it, and post it in the work group to scold her in public;

Often work overtime until late at night, and can only leave work after completing the assigned tasks of the day......

Many colleagues couldn't stand the temper of this leader and chose to leave their jobs.

At that time, Sun Chan also wanted to leave her job, but she thought about it:

If you quit because you didn't do a good job, you will have the same problem in your future work.

Although the leader is strict, he has a certain precipitation in the industry, and he can learn real skills by following him.

So she decided to put her head down in work first.

In order not to be scolded, she can only strive for excellence and spend more time studying her work.

Gradually, as her ability improved little by little, the number of times she was scolded became less and less.

Later, the new media industry developed in a blowout, and the leader called Sun Chan to the office alone, threw an olive branch to her, and asked her if she would like to go out with him to start a business.

In this way, Sun Chan left her original unit and went out to start a business with the leader as a partner.

Wall Street investment guru Ray Dalio said in his book "Principles":

"I experience painful moments in a very different way. Rather than feeling discouraged or breathless, I see pain as a reminder from nature that I have something important to learn. ”

Whatever afflicts you is here to work you out.

Think about it, professionalism, skill level, ability to control and make decisions...... What is not tempered by hardship and hardship?

Although the smooth road is easy to walk, it will eventually get narrower and narrower.

Although the pain is difficult, if you get through it, you will be reborn.

I have a cousin who just graduated and applied for a job as a video editor.

The other day, he called me to pour bitter water.

Scolding the boss is too harsh, every frame is picky, and every rhythm and drum beat must be accurate.

Tucao company has high requirements, requiring editors to know how to render packaging and learn advanced editing skills.

My cousin thought the job was terrible and wanted to quit immediately.

I steadied him and said, "I have a different opinion, and this job is valuable." If you want to quit, wait until you're really qualified for the position.

Work is practice, and when you feel very tired and hard, it is also the time when you grow the fastest.

The maple does not go through frost, and the leaves are not red.

Instead of choosing to run away from pain, we should choose to draw strength from it.
